WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:14.000 Speed Gibson of the International Secret Police. 00:14.000 --> 00:30.000 Ceiling zero. Ceiling zero. Ceiling zero. 00:44.000 --> 01:10.000 Speed, Clint and Barney have had plenty of excitement since landing in Hong Kong on the trail of the octopus and his criminal gang, but they are not the only ones entangled in his tentacles. 01:10.000 --> 01:21.000 Marsha Winfield has been kidnapped by the octopus because she knew too much about his band and has been smuggled aboard a flower boat that is slowly traveling up the Seong River to Hong Chau. 01:21.000 --> 01:33.000 Clint and Barney fly after the boat in the bullet monoplane in the hope that they can rescue the girl, but right after their takeoff, Speed on the dock with Dr. Kingsley and little Gene notices another plane pursuing his uncle. 01:33.000 --> 01:42.000 Recognizing it to be another octopus plane, Speed hurries to the doctor's home in order to warn Barney and his uncle. We find him at the set now trying to get through the airwaves. 01:42.000 --> 01:48.000 KVMC calling OC-34. KVMC calling OC-34. Come in, Clint. 01:48.000 --> 01:50.000 Why doesn't Clint answer, Speed? 01:50.000 --> 01:53.000 He's probably too busy watching the riverboats to answer right away, Gene. 01:53.000 --> 01:56.000 Well, do you think he has his set open to receive anything, Speed? 01:56.000 --> 02:02.000 Oh, yes, sir. Maybe they've noticed that octopus pursuit plane too, but I'm not taking any chances. 02:02.000 --> 02:09.000 OC-34 replying to KVMC. OC-34 replying to KVMC. 02:09.000 --> 02:10.000 Oh, goody. 02:10.000 --> 02:12.000 What's up, Speed? Standing by. 02:12.000 --> 02:13.000 He's talking. 02:13.000 --> 02:15.000 Gene, are you ready for two-way conversation, Clint? 02:15.000 --> 02:16.000 Yes, Speed. 02:16.000 --> 02:22.000 Then listen, right after you and Barney took off, another plane came up out of nowhere and last we saw, but it was following you. 02:22.000 --> 02:23.000 Following us? 02:23.000 --> 02:25.000 Yeah. Haven't you seen it? 02:25.000 --> 02:30.000 Well, Barney and I haven't been watching anything but the river, the sky ahead, Speed. Now, wait a minute. I'll take a look. 02:30.000 --> 02:34.000 Now that he's stopped talking long enough to take a look, maybe I'll have a chance. Hi, kid. 02:34.000 --> 02:37.000 Hello, Barney. Have you seen anything of the flower boat yet? 02:37.000 --> 02:42.000 Nothing but chimp hands and junk so far, but we're keeping our eyes peeled. Hold on, just a minute. 02:42.000 --> 02:48.000 Can't see a sign of another plane, Speed. We've only seen a broken overcast up here over the river. 02:48.000 --> 02:52.000 The other plane is probably above the clouds while we're fairly low over the river. 02:52.000 --> 02:56.000 Yeah, in that case, what have we got to worry about? He sure won't fly into us. 02:56.000 --> 03:00.000 You've got plenty to worry about, Barney. That pursuit plane is an octopus ship. 03:00.000 --> 03:04.000 Uh-huh. What's that, Speed? What makes you think that? 03:04.000 --> 03:10.000 It's exactly the same kind of a plane as you're in, Clint, and it looked awful suspicious following you that way right after you took off. 03:10.000 --> 03:17.000 Yes, while you've been talking, I've been keeping an eye out for him. I haven't seen a thing yet. Maybe it's just a private plane, not for us, Speed. 03:17.000 --> 03:21.000 Again, maybe not. Anyway, we'll keep watch, Speed, and thanks for the warning. 03:21.000 --> 03:25.000 Then there's no limit on anything that should happen, will you, Clint? I'll stay right by the set here. 03:25.000 --> 03:30.000 All right, Speed. So long, kid. O.C. three-four, shining on. 03:30.000 --> 03:33.000 Gee, I don't like that plane business. 03:33.000 --> 03:35.000 Do you think the octopus would have more than one plane? 03:35.000 --> 03:38.000 Gee, he's got everything. That's why he's so hard to fight. 03:38.000 --> 03:42.000 Why did he have to kidnap Marsha? I thought fighting was only done by men. 03:42.000 --> 03:48.000 Say, that octopus guy don't recognize any rules, Gene. He fights anybody or anything that might stop him from getting what he wanted. 03:48.000 --> 03:54.000 And Marsha had the onion skin map her brother sent her. Clint gave me his copy of it to study while he's gone. 03:54.000 --> 04:00.000 Oh, he did. I wondered. He didn't give it to me. And I know he wouldn't leave it in the room at the Golden Lotus Hotel. 04:00.000 --> 04:05.000 Speed, suppose them Clint and Barney have to land. Where will they land if the Siam River's too full of boats? 04:05.000 --> 04:09.000 They don't have to land on water, Gene. That plane has landing wheels, too. 04:09.000 --> 04:14.000 But Barney hasn't used them, so he hasn't let them down. No reason for him in the water. 04:14.000 --> 04:24.000 Dog gone. I sure wish I was with them fellas now. 04:24.000 --> 04:29.000 Seen anything of that other crate, Clint? No, but not likely to unless he drops down. 04:29.000 --> 04:32.000 That overcast is getting pretty solid. Might run into rain. 04:32.000 --> 04:36.000 Should have brought our umbrellas. That's the trouble with these open planes. 04:36.000 --> 04:39.000 Get every bit of weather that comes along right in your face. 04:39.000 --> 04:41.000 You should have stayed at home when you're nipping, Grandma. 04:41.000 --> 04:46.000 What do you mean, Grandma? Ain't I flown in every kind of weather they got without squawking? 04:46.000 --> 04:48.000 Sure. What are you kicking out for? 04:48.000 --> 04:50.000 Oh, it's unnecessary. That's why. 04:50.000 --> 04:56.000 It's going to be hard enough finding that floor boat that's carrying Marshall without getting a lot of rain in the face. 04:56.000 --> 05:02.000 Rain in the face. Sounds like an Indian. 05:02.000 --> 05:04.000 Hey, don't you think that's funny? 05:04.000 --> 05:07.000 I don't think anything's funny right now. Least of all you, Barney. 05:07.000 --> 05:12.000 We got a tough job to do. We have another octopus plane on our tail. We may not even get to do it. 05:12.000 --> 05:13.000 So cut out the clowning. 05:13.000 --> 05:18.000 I'm as worried about Marcia as you are, Clint. And just to set on finding her. 05:18.000 --> 05:23.000 What if we have got an octopus plane on our tail? Why not, clown? 05:23.000 --> 05:26.000 Here today and gone tomorrow. That's me. 05:26.000 --> 05:29.000 You flatter yourself. You think you're here today. 05:29.000 --> 05:30.000 Yeah. 05:30.000 --> 05:37.000 You're all right, you old cloud jumper. Don't know what I'd do without you. 05:37.000 --> 05:42.000 What? You don't know? Say, I wish the gang could hear you say that. 05:42.000 --> 05:45.000 First time you ever broke down and admitted that. 05:45.000 --> 05:46.000 Hey, hey. 05:46.000 --> 05:48.000 Hey, look below. Ain't that a flower boat? 05:48.000 --> 05:52.000 Yes, it is. It lose more altitude, Barney. I want to take a good look. 05:52.000 --> 05:56.000 Don't worry. You'll get one. If I get any lower, I'll land on her deck. 05:56.000 --> 06:01.000 At least that'll be the general idea and there'll be plenty of flowers for our funeral. 06:01.000 --> 06:05.000 Well, it looks innocent enough. Now let's climb as high as we can. 06:05.000 --> 06:10.000 Before getting into that overcast and see if we can spot any other flower boats up ahead. 06:10.000 --> 06:13.000 If we can't, then we'll land and search this one. 06:13.000 --> 06:16.000 Okay. But that ceiling's pretty low, I think. 06:20.000 --> 06:22.000 Hey, hey, you don't have to go straight up. 06:22.000 --> 06:26.000 Who's firing that ship? 06:31.000 --> 06:35.000 We can't get much higher without going into the overcast, Clint. 06:35.000 --> 06:38.000 Look, our top is getting tangled up and clouds already. 06:38.000 --> 06:42.000 Okay. Level off the side slip. We'll have quick landing then, Barney. 06:42.000 --> 06:44.000 Can you make a river landing? 06:44.000 --> 06:49.000 Yeah, if you go all clear ahead of that flower boat, that's where we'll land so she'll have to stop. 06:49.000 --> 06:53.000 Hey, hey, hold on. Level off, Barney. There's that pursuit plane. 06:53.000 --> 06:55.000 Sure enough. 06:55.000 --> 07:00.000 He dropped down behind us while we was ironing that river up ahead. What are the orders? 07:00.000 --> 07:02.000 Lose altitude and see what he does. 07:02.000 --> 07:07.000 That'll soon tell us whether he's following us. But no side slipping now. Now take it easy. 07:07.000 --> 07:09.000 Okay. 07:13.000 --> 07:15.000 He's over us now. 07:15.000 --> 07:18.000 Hey, there's something mounted on the rear cockpit. 07:18.000 --> 07:22.000 Could be a machine gun. It is a machine gun. He's just taken the cover off. 07:22.000 --> 07:26.000 Suffering whangdoodles. Maybe war's been declared. 07:26.000 --> 07:29.000 We wouldn't know messing around in the air as much as we do. 07:29.000 --> 07:33.000 We're sure going to know it in a minute. Hey, hey, Barney, he's nosing down. He's coming right for us. 07:33.000 --> 07:35.000 He is? 07:39.000 --> 07:41.000 Hey, the ship got... 07:41.000 --> 07:46.000 Right up big snake in the grass. Them drill bullets he's cooking at us. Look at our wings. 07:46.000 --> 07:48.000 Oh, boy, that loop would be all saved. 07:48.000 --> 07:52.000 Yeah, but not for long. Look at that fellow skiddoze he can get around and high tail after. 07:52.000 --> 07:57.000 If he wants to play, I'm going to get up through that overcast so we'll have plenty of room to play in. 08:01.000 --> 08:04.000 If we only had a machine gun, there's a carriage here for it, all right? 08:04.000 --> 08:08.000 Yeah, but we can't shoot the carriage. How's our plane going to get through that overcast? 08:08.000 --> 08:12.000 Yeah, but we can't shoot the carriage. How's our playful plane doing? 08:12.000 --> 08:15.000 He's coming right after us, but he's not gaining. 08:15.000 --> 08:18.000 His ship isn't any faster than ours. That's one thing to be thankful for. 08:18.000 --> 08:22.000 Better get your gun out, though, Clint. You might be able to do a little good with it. 08:22.000 --> 08:25.000 We might. I don't want to get that close if we can help it. 08:25.000 --> 08:28.000 That hail of machine gun bullets can't do us any good. 08:28.000 --> 08:30.000 Yeah, what we need is a cannon. 08:30.000 --> 08:32.000 Up here we go into the overcast. 08:32.000 --> 08:36.000 And come out looking to. Don't tell them where that other plane will pop up. 08:36.000 --> 08:38.000 Hey, how much gas we got? 08:38.000 --> 08:42.000 We've got it out with plenty, but I don't know if those bullets punctured any of the tanks or not. 08:42.000 --> 08:44.000 We'll soon find out. 08:44.000 --> 08:46.000 We're getting to a dogfight with no gas. 08:46.000 --> 08:50.000 Either that or establish a new altitude record with no gas. 08:50.000 --> 08:53.000 We were sapped to tackle this flight alone, anyhow. 08:53.000 --> 08:56.000 Oh, not necessarily. Just bad breaks, Bonnie. 08:56.000 --> 08:59.000 There's no use crapping. We're going to have to figure a way out of this. 08:59.000 --> 09:01.000 A way to get back to that flower boat. 09:01.000 --> 09:04.000 We probably won't have to figure much. 09:04.000 --> 09:08.000 We'll use enough lead bullets and we'll make the quickest landing you ever saw. 09:08.000 --> 09:11.000 Hey, the overcast is lighting up. 09:11.000 --> 09:12.000 We're breaking through. 09:12.000 --> 09:16.000 Yeah, boy, it's bright after those clouds. 09:16.000 --> 09:18.000 The sky is empty so far. 09:18.000 --> 09:20.000 Yeah, but not for long. 09:20.000 --> 09:23.000 I'm aiming my prop at the sun for a little while. 09:23.000 --> 09:28.000 And just in case we do make a force landing, I'll have plenty of altitude to play around in. 09:28.000 --> 09:31.000 Hey, there's the other plane right on our camp. 09:31.000 --> 09:36.000 Boy, oh boy, I wish I could add about another hundred miles to our airspeed indicator. 09:36.000 --> 09:40.000 You think you ought to tell Speed what's happening over the radio telephone? 09:40.000 --> 09:41.000 No, there's no use worrying him. 09:41.000 --> 09:43.000 He'd go crazy if he knew the spot we're in. 09:43.000 --> 09:45.000 I'll wait and tell him after it's all over. 09:45.000 --> 09:49.000 Yeah, you'll tell him if you're still able to talk. 09:55.000 --> 09:58.000 Gee, I sure wish we'd get some word from Clint and Barney. 09:58.000 --> 10:00.000 I hate to call them again and bother them. 10:00.000 --> 10:05.000 Yes, they'll probably call you the moment they have anything important to tell us, Speed. 10:06.000 --> 10:09.000 That's the octopus. That's the sound he always makes. 10:09.000 --> 10:10.000 The octopus? 10:10.000 --> 10:11.000 That's him, all right, Doctor. 10:11.000 --> 10:14.000 Yes, I am the octopus, Speed Gibson. 10:14.000 --> 10:16.000 Can you hear me, octopus? 10:16.000 --> 10:17.000 Perfectly. 10:17.000 --> 10:20.000 But how did you come in? How can you hear me? 10:20.000 --> 10:24.000 I can do many things with my ultra-high frequency set that no one else understands. 10:24.000 --> 10:28.000 But aren't you more interested in your uncle just now? 10:28.000 --> 10:30.000 Clint, what do you know about him? 10:30.000 --> 10:33.000 I know that he and Barney are flying for their lives. 10:33.000 --> 10:37.000 Flying from my pursuit plane, which has a machine gun trained on them. 10:37.000 --> 10:39.000 You can't do anything to my uncle and Barney. 10:39.000 --> 10:41.000 Oh, can't I? 10:41.000 --> 10:44.000 At this moment they are trying to fly away from my plane, 10:44.000 --> 10:50.000 but the bullets have already found their mark in the reserve gasoline tanks of the plane Barla's plane. 10:50.000 --> 10:56.000 It won't be long until his other gasoline is gone, and then his motor will fail. 10:56.000 --> 10:57.000 Barney will still bring her to a landing. 10:57.000 --> 11:02.000 Oh, no, because he'll lose airspeed by doing so. 11:02.000 --> 11:09.000 And then my flyer will drop down and the machine gun will end your uncle's promising career. 11:09.000 --> 11:11.000 Oh, no, you can't do that. 11:11.000 --> 11:14.000 It is too late. I have done it. 11:18.000 --> 11:19.000 What can we do? 11:19.000 --> 11:23.000 Oh, Speed, can't we help them? Can't you talk to Clint and Barney? 11:23.000 --> 11:28.000 They're trying. KVMC, call an OC34. Clint and Barney, come in. 11:28.000 --> 11:56.000 I've got to reach them. KVMC, call an OC34. KVMC, call an OC34. 11:58.000 --> 12:00.000 Oh, no, you can't do that. 12:28.000 --> 12:38.000 Music
